This episode of The Evolving Faith Podcast features: A conversation between Jeff and Sarah about Derry Girls you don’t want to miss Taynya Marlow’s talk from the 2019 Evolving Faith conference where she discusses the stories we tell to make sense of the world How her own story of chronic illness doesn’t fit the narrative that the church often tells of those who are suffering Tayna explains her practice of retelling stories in Scripture with an understanding that the characters were real people with real emotions, and she discusses how she has learned to see parts of her own story in their suffering Tanya ends by reminding listeners that “we worship a God that is deeply emotional, moved by suffering, weeps with us, and will one day make all things new.” After Tanya’s talk, Jeff and Sarah discuss how we do or don’t tell the truth about our emotions and what it means that God is an emotional God Jeff discusses how shows like Heartstopper attempt to tell narratives from the margins and why we need more of this kind of storytelling Sarah and Jeff close by talking about how expansive the story of God is and how we work towards finding ourselves and our neighbors in that story Show Notes Evolving Faith Conference Podcast After Party (Community Discussion)
